Abstract
This invention discloses a physical exercise appliance comprising an indicator device for selectively indicating exercise data or heart-pulse frequency data of the user or exerciser during the application of his physical energy. A circuit is provided for alternately indicating the exercise data and the heart-pulse frequency data on the indicator device at predetermined intervals when the indication of exercise data is designated. The circuit only indicates the heart-pulse frequency data on the indicator device when the indication of heart-pulse frequency data is designated. The heart-pulse frequency data may be read out at predetermined intervals, while exercise data such as an exercise period of time or an exercise speed are indicated on the indicator device. Therefore the user or exerciser can always know his physical conditions during the application of his physical energy and can pay attention such that he does not apply excessively his physical energy, thereby preventing him from becoming too tired. Furthermore, such repeated indication of exercise data and heart-pulse frequency data on the indicator device may also provide an entertaining atmosphere, so that the user may take…
